What am I missing here? If we were both at 11-4, why would we give up our chance to win the division and get at least one home playoff game? I’m not even talking about the one seed. But I’d be doing everything to win the AFCE.

Love the optimism. Solid post. The thing that really sticks out to me though is how you talk about the Bills running game. To paraphrase, you believe the Bills are a run first team and have a very strong running game. Probably due to a strong oline and annex excellent RB Cook. Throw in good run zone and gap schemes too. Sound about right? I just don't think this is the best offensive philosophy to have. The Bills have over emphasized the running game at the expense of the passing game. Their offense is very script dependent. Don't get me wrong the running game is important and a good offense can't be only a run or pass team. You need both obviously. I'd rather have Allen throwing the ball to dynamic WRs who can be effective with yards after the catch, pick up chunk plays, take it to the house, etc...You get the point. Give Allen weapons and don't take the ball out of his hands. When you have Josh Allen you give him WR weapons, vertical threats, quick strike offense. This will open up the running game. In short, I really dislike the Bills offensive philosophy. Yes the stats are still very good but it's obvious why. Go Bills.

I had a friend working with the browns during that draft and he was adamant it was down to Baker and Josh But the question marks were too much to Hitch the first overall pick on them And Baker was a Heisman winning quarterback with a great work ethic and a fiery personality and a high floor Look at Sam darnold now.. he's much better than what the Jets showed because the organization you go to means a lot

What genius decided to make the line of scrimmage overlay orange?

By your standing you think just because they played their backup they would score more than 31 Yet maybe the bills took Skyler Thompson lightly and thought they could just waltz to a victory and then they showed up to a dog fight because it's the NFL playoffs We literally out gained Kansas City in our playoff game last year.. they did not statistically dominate us Sure tua is better than Skyler.. these are also professionals with egos.. maybe they took him slightly for granted.. he was sub 50% completion lol Josh also threw a pick six.. that's a big momentum swing in the playoffs The score was not indicative of the Bills dolphins playoff game We outgained the Chiefs last year and had the ball at the end to Win or tie.. versus a team that was at two straight Super bowls before that game They had zero defensive starters on the injury report we had seven fresh injuries including losing Christian Benford and our best safety Elam got abused because he was forced to play.. that's a three-point difference right there

IDK if Harbaugh is to blame. I know I’m late to the party but just sort read the comprehensive story of what happened and that’s a pretty spectacular flame out. I do feel sorry for him, he is responsible for his actions obviously, but this is tough to watch happen to anyone IMO.

But if the trend is real, and the Bills really are Billsy, then Benford will tear his bicep when he returns.

If Denver loses twice to AFC teams, I think we would have the tiebreaker due to conference record.

On one hand you use injuries to absolve us under all sorts of hypotheticals but on the other you can't even acknowledge that if treated equally we would have lost in the Wild Card at home vs Miami. You can't possibly hold both views in a logical way. I understand what happened in the Miami game, but again, you apply what you want to fit your view. Our KC games were were largely dominated statistically by them, but yes, it was very close. Same with Miami but the other way. In the end the issue I have with this thought process is what you're displaying in your responses. It is very one sided and doesn't consider the implications of injuries vs us or in any other situations. It's simply a hypothetical "we would have won if" which then only gets applied to us and nobody else. Which is why I said the results have to mean something.

Who is she? Can't be bothered to look her up. Who cares what she thinks? It's not like sexual abuse charges never took down a white major college head coach. But Paterno is still beloved. This guy won't be. Neither should be.

Darnold was in the conversation as well. And there were a few notables touting Josh Allen as a potential first pick, but that was mostly dismissed by most. The closer it got, though, the more Mayfield emerged as the favorite.

Phins certainly have talent to compete with the Pats.. the first match up was tight. I actually think the Pats have more pressure than anyone is letting on. This whole disrespected business to formulate motivation is fine. Then you have to play the games. If the Bills get the W this will be their first adversity in a long time.. 0-2 maybe ?? And he played unreal in the L couple years ago in the rain at Philly as I recall.

Without a doubt Josh's not only the best quarterback in the class but probably the best in the world The browns were stuck in a situation of do we want to try to develop a kid with great size and athleticism and talent but he needs a lot of reps Versus the ready to play NFL quarterback who has a really high floor Thank God they took the guy who didn't need to learn much... Because watching the bills these last 9 years I will never take for granted

Pretty easy pick

I was at that game and literally out game them by 200 yards Score was not indicative of the game... They played valiantly with a backup quarterback It still was not indicative of the final score We didn't lose but if we did sure that would make you rethink things.. but we out gain them by 200 yards the score was not indicative of the actual game

Cool. Bottom line is the defense has cost the team more often than not. Injured or not. We don't need to make excuses.

So we would have beat Miami with Tua starting when we won 34-31? How would of a home loss in the wild card to Miami changed your outlook?

the hype was all Baker #1 as I recall though. Im sure that is debatable but it's my recollection Now it's clearly #17 as the best QB in that class. Im not biased much lol

Other teams are also putting out their best effort versus us lol the Bengals game is an outlier where we had a player die on the field basically and that could suck a lot of wind out of your sails.. the team was emotionally spent by that playoff game Point stands we went toe to toe with the AFC champions back to back years severely outmanned That's not even questionable.. we had fresh injuries they did not And we played them to field goal games with the ball in our hands at the end of the game That's not getting out coached or out played.. that is right there.. 100% I believe with a healthy team those Chiefs are not beating us In fact we have the same talent level right now and they're six and seven

Two years in a row we played competitive games in the Wild Card round vs Miami and Pittsburgh who didn't even have a starting QB. I hear the Bengals divisional game in this mix, meanwhile they had the entire OL out. Rice hasn't played for KC in either of the last two playoff games. I know people who discuss this are trying to point out the nuance of the situations, but eventually the results really do need to rule the day. Injuries go both ways and on top of it this regime has a propensity to invest in players with that type of history. A lot of the guys who are out now have been out more times than I can count.

Not if the Bills take care of business in the playoffs.

I think Baker is still very good he has the talent and the work ethic and fire But thank God the Cleveland browns didn't take Josh over him because by all accounts they were down to Baker or Josh Allen

It’s clear that the only thing this team does a walk through is through land mines.

She was ice cold. Smug smile throughout. Some really hard shots thrown by a female D congresswoman through video of her changing her story. But she acted immune, protected. And she probably is even if she's fired. She swore under oath that no veteran or citizen had been detained or deported. Bald, post plastic surgery faced lie. Shameless, all of em.

Bills - def Pats at home.
